So I cooked from the Australian Women’s Weekly, Everyday Vegetarian: the complete collection an age ago (March 2018) and really don’t remember much about it. I do remember struggling to find recipes that both my vegetarian house-mate (allergic to capsicum) and my friend who was visiting (MAOI diet) could eat. I don’t recall the taste …

Cookbook 132: The Jewelled Kitchen
The Jewelled Kitchen by Bethany Kehdy is a stunningly beautiful cookbook. I bought it because it looked so beautiful and I was intrigued by the recipes inside. Sadly, despite it being beautiful, the recipes did not work for me the way I hoped and it was a tiny bit disappointing. I think that as I …

Cookbook 125: middle eastern
The Australian Women’s Weekly middle eastern (not sure why they went with lower case for a place name, but who am I to ask such questions) was the book I cooked for when I had a friend visiting and the vegetarian who lives with us was away for the weekend. I was going to cook …

Cookbook 121: Moroccan soup bar: Recipes of a spoken menu and a little bit of spice
Because my husband’s boyfriend is a lovely and awesome man, he bought me the newly released Moroccan soup bar: Recipes of a spoken menu and a little bit of spice cookbook for Christmas. I have been waiting for this cookbook for many many years. I have eaten at the Moroccan Soup Bar several times, and …

Cookbook 117: Eat With Love
I haven’t been blogging much recently or cooking for that matter, because I’ve been sick. Treatment is over now, and I’m about to go to India for a wedding (and a cooking lesson). Once I get back in early December I hope to return us all to our regular program. So… a while ago I …

Cookbook 115: Curry: Fragrant dishes from India, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia
I bought Curry: Fragrant dishes from India, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia after flipping through my sister’s copy when I was visiting her for lunch. It looked interesting, I like curries, and my sister said that the recipes she’d made from it were quite tasty. So of course I wanted to try it out. I was …

Cookbook 48: The bon appétit fast easy fresh cookbook
A long time ago, before I went on holidays, and before the rush to be ready for holidays, say farewell to people, and pack… I cooked from Barbara Fairchild’s The bon appétit fast easy fresh cookbook (I’m not sure what should be capitalised or not). The food was delicious, but the recipes were very US …

Cookbook 42: Margaret Fulton’s Book of Indian Cooking
So I dug out a book I bought in the early 1990s, before I’d moved out of home, and had actually never ever used before, Margaret Fulton’s Book of Indian Cooking. It’s not that I didn’t like Indian, or that the ingredients were too hard to find, or too strange for my taste, it’s just …

Cookbook 28: 500 Best-Ever Recipes Mediterranean
The text on the front cover of 500 Best-Ever Recipes Mediterranean includes, “Traditional, best-loved regional dishes from Morocco, Spain, Turkey, Greece, France and Italy…”. This means that other Mediterranean countries such as Algeria, Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, etc aren’t listed as being in this book, even though some of their recipes are. I also have …

Cookbook 24: Moroccan Bible
So I cooked from the Moroccan Bible, which was less of a bible and more of a half decent cookbook. It’s not a bad cookbook, it’s just not good either. Some of the instructions are vague, “bring to the boil and then cook for X minutes” – does cooking involve a rolling boil, or is …
